For my first attempt with the Sputnik, I just went to ASDA, got juniper berries and coriander seeds, turned out OK but I too could do with finding a decent place to get botanicals, so I'll keep an eye on this thread.

Are the dried junipers the best to use?

In an ideal world you have your own Juniper bushes.
But the UK is sadly lacking, so dried from Eastern Europe is next best.
